The Chance In Fate

Chapter 4

Chloe's POV 

I still am sitting in the hospital bed, I am so bored. The girls haven't really left my side this last couple days. I keep telling them that they can go, but they won't listen to me. In a way I am really thankful for it. I don't really know where I will go after I get out of the hospital though. The house that I was staying in with my foster parents is offically burned down. Nobody knows how the fire started though, I feel like it may have been one of my foster parent's friends or something because who else would it be. I heard the doctors saying that they saw my bruises and cuts and that they think that maybe I was trying to start the fire to do something bad to myself, but that was not at all what happened. I may not always be happy with my life, but I was not trying to end my life. I finally snapped out of my thoughts when I felt someone staring. I looked up and saw Lauren staring at me with a look of curiously. Lauren: "What are you thinking about baby?" "Oh, it is nothing important." Lauren: "Whatever you are thinking about will always be important. You do know that you can tell me right?" Should I tell her about my foster parents? Should I tell her about the abuse and the pain they put me through? I for some reason trust her so much, but I don't know if I should tell her all about this. Why do things have ot so complicated? Lauren: "Chloe?? Did you hear what I said?" "Huh, what?" "I said that I would never judge you for the things that you went through. I will always be here for you, no matter what you went through and no matter what happens in life." "Okay..................." I suppose I can tell her. "When I was growing up, I was in a really bad environment. My birth parents did not care about me and they were really really bad people. The um..they murder a family and there child, I was there to witness the whole thing and after they did it, they told me that the whole thing was my fault. I didn't understand how any of it could be my fault, but the more they told me that, the more I believed it. I couldn't believe that I was the cause for a whole family to be killed and I was only 6 years old. When the police finally found my parents, they were arrested and put in jail. I was then put into the system and when I was 8 years old I was taken in by my foster parents. They knew my parents though, so that was a really bad thing for me. They hated my parents, they hated me, and they hated the world. They took all of their anger out on me. They would leave and at night they would come home really drunk and on some days they would be high. They would always hit me, throw their beer bottles at me, call me horrible names and so many other things. I had enough, so a way to get away from all the pain was listening to music. On really bad days though, that did not always help. Sometimes, it would lead to cutting. It was my one way out of everything. It worked for a long time. When I found out about you girls, I listened to your music all the time and it was my way to stop cutting. Ever since I have not cut because I know that I am so much stronger then those demons that are inside of my head. I know that I can get through all of those thoughts, but that it would take time. You girls are my saviors, and I don't know how I can ever repay all of you." I did not realize that I was crying until I felt Lauren's thumb wiping the tears away from my eyes. When I looked up, I saw Lauren with her eyes full of tears as well. She got up off her chair and come closer to the bed and layed down next to me. She did not have to say anything, she just layed there with me stroking my head and started singing to me. As much as I wanted to stay awake and listen to her sing, I was drifting off to sleep and just like that I was out cold.

Lauren's POV

WOW! I can't believe that all of these things have happened to her! She is so young, yet she has been through so much. I looked down and noticed that she is 100% asleep right now. I look up to see the other girls standing at the door with tears in their eyes. "Did you hear everything?" They all nodded. "Like her entire story?" They all nodded again. Camila: "I can't believe she had to deal with all of that! How can someone put her through all of that? I don't understand how someone could so cruel to another person. I hope that she knows how much we care about her!" Ally: "Hey guys? Can I speak to all of you outside for a moment?" We all looked at each others and said sure. They all walked out and I looked down at Chloe and smiled, kissed her on the forehead and walked out of the room shutting the door behind me. I walked outside of the room to find all and the rest of the girls a little farther down the hall. I walked over to them and smiled slightly. "Hey Girls! What did you want to talk about Ally?" Ally: "I know that we have only known her for about a week, and I know that we are still young and everything. Just looking at all of you, I can tell that you all love Chloe and I wanted to see what you guys through about adopting her? I know you might not like the idea, but it has been going through my head since the fire. I knew that something was off the first day because of the fact that her parents did not come to the hospital hours after the fire took place. I just think that she really needs a support system and people that will really love her and take care of her and I think that we came into her life for a reason." Dinah: "I never really thought about us ever being like parents at this age, but I do think that we came into her life for a reason and I think that she does need that support system like you were talking about. So, if all of you are okay with it then I am as well. That also means I could have a little pranking buddy!" Camila: "I am okay with adopting her! That means that I could have a cuddle buddy and a pizza buddy! What could be better then that?!" Ally: "What about you Lauren?" "I have been thinking about it lately too. I feel like everything that has happened so far was meant to be. I feel like we were meant ot get out of the studio at that time at night. I feel like we were supposed to get that pizza at that little pizza place on the corner. I feel like I was supposed to run into that fire to save her even though I didn't know who she was at the time and I did not even think twice about running into the fire. I really want to adopt her, more then anything that I have wanted in a long time!" Ally: "Finally, what do you think Normani?" Normani: "Well, I never thought that I would have to make a decision about this. This is a really big decision and it will effect all of us in the end. Have you guys thought about our career? There is a lot to-" All of a sudden I heard a blood curling scream coming from Chloe's room. Before I could even think I was already running down the hallway making my way back to her room. Before I could open the door a nurse stopped me and told me that I was not allowed in the room. I tried to reason with her telling her that I knew the patient that was in the room and that I have been staying with her all week but she still would not let me in the room. The nurse made me wait outside of the room and stress out because nobody would tell me what was going on. After what felt like 20 FREAKING HOURS LATER, the nurse came out asking if there was a Lauren. I quickly got up saying that I was Lauren. She told me that I could go in but only me. I looked at the other girls making sure it was okay with them because I know how much they care about her as well. They all looked at me and nodded. "Are you all sure?" Dinah: "Of Course! We all want to know if she is alright, if she wants you in there then you will just have to tell us how she is when you are done in there. "I love you girls so much!" I then followed the nurse into the room to see Chloe with tears in her eyes and nurses trying to calm her down.
